Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This Tuscan farmhouse is in a peaceful spot, nestled among olive groves and vineyards. The home consists of two apartments, each with its own entrance, garden, and patio, so is a great choice for a group – you can holiday together and still enjoy your own space. Carefully restored, the farmhouse retains many original features and is filled with antiques. Also, who could fail to be impressed by those countryside views? We think they're best enjoyed from the two private pools. When it comes to exploring, you’ve got Colle Val d'Elsa and San Gimignano within easy driving distance, and if you want to get off the tourist trail, your host is happy to suggest some hidden gems.

About San Miniato
Halfway between Pisa and Florence, San Miniato is one of the most beautiful towns in Tuscany, and that’s saying something. It’s perched atop three hills overlooking the Arno valley, and the panoramas of the Tuscan hills live up to all expectations.
